A Day in the Life of Brady

A Day in the Life of Brady....narrated by Brady:

6:20  House is silent...start screaming "Mama Mama Maaaammmmmaaaaa"...jump up and down in bed 10 times...scream again "Mama Mama Maaaammmmmaaaaa"....jump up and down in bed 10 times...scream again "Mama Mama Maaaammmmmaaaaa"....shake the side of the crib a few times

6:40  Mama wanders in...give her my best smile....reach out for her and pretend we're going to cuddle...as soon as she lifts me out...wiggle out of her arms and jet out of my room.

6:42  Throw open the door to my sisters' room...poke their eyeballs until they open them...when they pull the blanket over their head, I pull it off and scream until a parent pulls me out.

6:45  Start looking for Daddy...on the way, run through playroom, dump out 3 buckets of toys for fun. Give kisses to Daddy.

6:47  Head to the kitchen and start banging on the fridge door screaming "uice uice" until someone fixes me something to drink

7:00  Eat my breakfast

7:15 Mama sits down with her breakfast, I eat most of her breakfast

7:30 Tell my sisters good-bye

7:45 Dump out all the puzzles

7:50  Roam the house looking for doors that haven't been Brady-proofed yet...find one! Close the door behind me and terrorize the room until Mama tracks me down

8:00  Turn on the TV and pretend to watch so that Mama will go to her room and start getting dressed

8:10  Sneak off of the couch to the kitchen, crawl up to the counter, grab a butcher knife. Mama must have some kind of Sixth Sense, b/c here she comes to retrieve the butcher knife.

9:00  Head to the garage..on the way to the car, pull out sister's scooter. Scream and arch back when Mama tries to put me in the car. 15 minutes later, finally let her buckle me.

9:30-11:30 Run errands. Poop a few times and have to be changed in a public restroom. Smoosh the bread and eggs. Throw my snacks on the ground. Smile really sweetly when the elderly lady walks by so she'll say "oh isn't she cute". Oh you  heard that? Isn't SHE cute. Mama, cut my hair.

12:00 Whip open the pantry and start looking for lunch. Eat what I like. Throw the rest on the floor or smoosh it into my hair or highchair.

12:30  Follow mom in the bathroom...flush the toilet while she's sitting on it...5 times

12:45  Rock with my Mama. Smile at her. Gaze into her eyes. She really digs this, she's thinking "oh look how much my little boy adores me."  I'm plotting my next scheme.

1:00 Nap. Mama naps.

3:00 Mama wakes me up to pick up my sisters from school.

3:30  Yell and scream and snatch papers while my sisters try to do their homework.

5:30  Daddy comes home, yee haw!

6:00 Dinner. I've started noticing that when I scream at dinner, Mama turns my highchair around to face the wall. Bigtime hurts my feelings.

6:30  Hang with the family

7:30 Take a bath....splash and splash until most of the water is on the floor

8:00 Goodnight!

All of the gaps in this timeline are when Mama was curled in a fetal position in the corner humming "Hold On For One More Day."
